The luxury master-planned community of Watersound Camp Creek provides a resort lifestyle without leaving home. "It still needs a lot of development, but it's an amazing area," says resident Beau Blankenship, a broker with Christie's International Emerald Coast. "We really wouldn't want to live anywhere else; we can access so many amenities, and the Camp Creek Golf Course is fantastic." This new development cultivates a self-sustaining neighborhood with upscale homes, golf courses, beach clubs and a town center with lively events. Watersound sits near the convergence of Highways 98 and 30A, connecting the community to other small beach towns along Florida's panhandle. Blankenship notes that there is a resort area for visitors, but there is also a significant number of full-time residents who all know each other. In addition to these amenities, the largest is that it's close to the ocean, offering peaceful turquoise water washing onto powdered, sugar-soft sand. The beaches here are less touristy than neighboring Panama City Beach, allowing residents to relax year-round.

Multi-million-dollar estates and upscale bungalows close to golf courses
Watersound's defining feature is its collection of newly constructed subdivisions. "The community has four phases: the most recent developments are a nonrental area, and another that's for semi-permanent vacation homes," Blankenship says. These clusters of shining homes with luxury amenities, lined with dune flowers and palm trees, offer an air of coastal opulence. Home prices also differ depending on where they're located, with Watersound Origins homes typically on the lower end of the scale and luxury Camp Creek homes going into the multimillions. These gated, private communities offer housing styles ranging from contemporary cottages, bungalows and townhouses priced between $500,000 and $900,000 to large, upscale farmhouses and sleek, ultra-modern builds priced between $4 million and $7 million. Since the community is new, lots are available for custom construction, typically priced between $1 million and $3 million. Blankenship also notes that property taxes are low here, which benefits buyers. With the area's hurricane risk, residents must have adequate homeowners and flood insurance.

Beach clubs, golf courses and nature trails
Living in the Watersound community provides access to nature trails, golfing greens and quartz sand beaches. The Camp Creek Golf Course and the Origins Golf Course use the area's grassy marshes and oak and pine forest thickets to create scenic 18-hole greens for varying skill levels.

Nearby, nature trails at Deer Lake State Park meander through a picturesque landscape with sand grass, lupine, goldenrod and magnolia trees. The park features a coastal dune lake, a rare sight, home to local wildlife. Nearby, the Gulf Coast beaches attract residents and visitors, lush with clear blue waters and snowy white sands.
